The Munster incident comes on the first anniversary of an attack in Swedish capital Stockholm attack where a hijacked lorry was deliberately driven into crowds before being crashed through a corner of a department store.

Five people were killed and 14 others were seriously injured in the Stockholm.

Munster’s Bishop Felix Genn has said: “I am deeply shaken and stunned. Today in Münster, as in Germany, we had the first spring day. People enjoyed the beautiful weather, and then something like that happens. We do not know the exact background yet. But regardless of this: what has happened is terrible.

“In my thoughts and prayers, I am with the victims and their families.”

The attack bears similarities to the December 2016 truck attack in Berlin that killed 12 people.
